OK back to the other kind of heat... I was miserable for most of the day but when the sun went down I made this salad, ate it outside on the patio, blipped a fierce female music marathon and all was right with the world. Nothing like a cold salad on a hot day...
Shelly's Mexican Layered Salad(from top down) Avocado, sliced
Green Onions, diced
Lime Cumin Yogurt Crema "Dressing"
Tomato, chopped
Lettuce, shredded
Black Olives, chopped
Chicken, grilled, chilled & chopped
Cotija Cheese, grated
Refried Beans
Shelly's Lime Cumin Yogurt Crema "Dressing"3 1/2 oz Fage Greek Yogurt (1/2 a small container)
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 Lime
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
dash of Kosher Salt
Mix till well blended. Also great as a dip for meats or veggies.
Hint: Toss a few extra chicken breasts on the grill on the weekend to make making this salad a breeze midweek... leaving time for "other" things.

Oh my goodness, that salad looks SO delicious!
So loosing my mind with your site. I tried the Baked Ricotta last night and OMGGGGGG!!! It was so good. Thanks you for all you do!!! Gonna try this salad next.
that looks so good..so hot here in texas too..days and days of over 100 degrees! will have to try this. thanks for all you do for us!
Come on up to Alaska it's wonderful here! :) the Sunny 65 degree weather in Anchorage right now is great!
The Mexican Layered Sald looks delicious!
Definitely on the menu for this weekend. Thanks, Shelley!
OH MY!!!! Can I just say that this salad just made my mouth water! It looks so cool and crisp and fresh! I will definatly be trying it this week! Thanks Shelly!
Love your web, had a sleeve 2.5 years ago and had to connvert to a roux. Eating is not too different but have gained some new enthusiam for recipes and trying something different. Eating is fun again instead of a chore. Made peach protein cake,fresh peach slices on top covered with a good reduced balasamic vinegar on top. UMMMMM
Yummmm! I had something similar (but not as good...love the dressing idea!)planned for the kidlettes and me, but they made plans with friends....another night. AND I have beautiful avocados from T.J.'s that really want to be eaten...and soon! Sunday will be the perfect night for this treat! THANKS!
I would reconsider the idea of alaska. My boyfriend's working in Fairbanks right now (I'm in San Diego) and, um, the sun stays out for a huge chunk of the night and it is hot there too. He never stops complaining about the heat. Temecula, I'm sure, is much better. Besides, whenever I pass by Temecula on my way to riverside or vegas I like knowing that eggface is nearby :)
Shelley, What do you consider a serving size for your recipes? Such as your salads and "bites"?
celinsc
That looks yummy.
Alaska to me sounds a bit horrifying. All that snow. I hate snow. Hence the reason I don't live in Washington anymore either. That and the crappy wages there.
This looks delish! I'm lovin these cool salads during this swealtering weather!
Hope you guys enjoy it.
@celinsc Portion size will really depend on how far out you and what your Dr recommends. I'd ask him what he recommends at your stage.
At 4 years I eat 3 bites and a scoop of some salad. Never more than 1 cup at a sitting. Usually much less. Depends on the protein density.
@Pam So glad you enjoyed the Baked Ricotta. It made me feel human in those first few weeks :)
Eggface, you truly rock.
lol - I forgot to leave my email address. nikitaswlfspirit@gmail.com - my name is Kris. :)
I made this salad yesterday for dinner because I was craving nachos! More than satisfied the nacho craving in a healthy way! My mother in law raved about the salad and said "don't throw away that recipe!" Thanks AGAIN for all you do for WLS patients!
